It seems to me that posting this widely on Compuserve (or at least on alt.online-service.compuserve) and then contacting CNN and making comments about how "the Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" is the best way to handle this. We want the public to get the idea that censorship does not work on the Internet.
If you do this, you'll find out very quickly just how empty (or at least how slippery) slogans like "the Internet routes around censorship" are: if your efforts pay off and you steer even a fraction of CIS's traffic toward the remaining open newsservers, they'll close faster than you can say "alt." So before you do it, think about how the net will route around sysops closing their servers off from the net.
